While Iowa Universities appear to want to create soft targets for mass shooters by creating “gun free zones,” the Iowa legislature is preparing to check their anti-American power grab. Iowa State Senator Jason Schults (R) has introduced a bill that appears on a fast track to passage.
The bill limits the restrictions on gun rights colleges and universities can impose on their students and staff. It essentially allows Americans to possess firearms in secured positions in some places, including college campuses, and expands the right to conceal carry to include school parking lots.
